    Someone found that screw we lost in space!

  2. Money transferred to Czech Republic on One of Europe's Biggest Companies Loses 40 Million Euros In Online Scam (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    At least a good news, the money remains in Europe

  3. Re:google copy and paste on Google's DeepMind To Apply AI In Head and Neck Cancer Treatments (thestack.com) · · Score: 2

    Google was also late in the search engines game...

    Seems to work though, see for yourself http://goatse.cx .

  5. Re:Imagine the stupidity of the average person on Half Of People Click Anything Sent To Them (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    dumb != uneducated

  6. Re:People actually click on email links? on Half Of People Click Anything Sent To Them (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Usually just removing the final GET part with an ID gives you the same page, without reference tracking (e.g. the ad-story below about lenovo is "http://news.lenovo.com/news-releases/lenovo-reveals-yoga-book-2-in-1-tablet-for-productivity-and-creativity.htm?CID=ww:lenovosocial:r5kzwy", remove the CID part and no more tracking). Then use Ghostery to disable all necessary trackers

  7. Re:I don't believe this on Half Of People Click Anything Sent To Them (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Difference is, when you receive a link, its actual domain name is not displayed along with the link, as on /. (the only people likely to click your link either don't know goatse, or want to have another look at it!)

  8. Re:Decimal Numbers? on Slashdot Asks: What Are Your Favorite Java 8 Features? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    BigDecimal or a more adequate type name should be part of the language, then they can allow to write directly `(x+y)/z` (and no user operator overloading).

  9. WHy would they do that, the MPAA gets already wagons of $ from Netflix, and also got them to implement strict geoblocking

  10. these findings will also allow to find a way to bypass Netflix geoblocking. Content is my country is so poor, makes me want to cry :-(

  11. What is your own phone? Just curious

  12. and they are going to keep not claiming very loudly and repeatedly.

    Maybe loud enough, so that another civilization may hear them

  13. Re:The Change on Early Human Ancestor Lucy 'Died Falling Out of a Tree' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The leading theory is that the climate started fluctuating heavily in Africa around that time, favoring adaptability over metabolic efficiency, and this is where human-ness branches off of ape-ness.

    Indeed, Africa is said to be the cradle of intelligence.

  14. Not everything needs to be written in C, of course. But being fluent in C before starting other projects in less demanding languages (memory management, pointers, ....) like Java offers some guarantees regarding the developer competences.

  15. Re:AV only helps if you are bad on How Security Experts Are Protecting Their Own Data (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't run anything that's untrusted. Worked out well so far.

    Or you could run an OS that doesn't vehiculate viruses.

  16. Re:Why? on Recent College Grads Aim To Land A Robot On The Moon (thehindu.com) · · Score: 1

    Plus I guess their space craft will take much longer to reach the Moon.

    Backblaze:

    Linux, BSD, Unix and other *nix systems:
    These operating systems are not supported and Backblaze can not be installed on them

  18. the only purpose of such a fucking obvious question is to get some front-page name recognition for the product

    Indeed the "Storage spaces" link he gives goes to one very specific product. Disgusting.

  19. Why would you need to store porn (let alone backup) when you get a lot of it online?

  20. Re:Verify by DNA analysis on 'Longest Living Human' Says He Is Ready For Death At 145 (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    DNA gives biological age, not chronological age ; at best, (within 5 years), DNA gives an aging order of magnitude, but for someone that old it's likely to be very inacurrate.

  21. Re:The key phrase here is on 'Longest Living Human' Says He Is Ready For Death At 145 (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    "If independently confirmed" - which is unlikely

    Well, if he is really old, there is still carbon-14 dating.

  22. Japan has all sorts of weather patterns, if you leave Tokyo
